We're hiring designers. Yes, actual human designers. (Freelance/on a retainer basis tho, because one of the founders blew our seed capital on a dirt bike. Priorities, right?)

Shocking, I know. Since we run a content farm that talks about AI, you'd probably assume we'd just let MidJourney or Stable Diffusion handle all our design work. But honestly, dude, we've tried it and the results… yeah, zero soul, zero vibe.

That's why we actually want real designers. Some things AI can't fake (yet), you feel us. The style we're looking for is simple and sharp linework — similar to XKCD, Cyanide & Happiness, and Dilbert.

If that sounds like your jam, drop us a DM with your portfolio and hit us up. We will discuss rates and all that jazz.
